I think of Grace, I think of a “life force,” and I think of the way St. Catherine of Siena described God– God and God’s grace are the water in which we swim; we may not realize it, we may look for it, but we are _in_ it as it flows through our gills and as we move through it and it through us.

I’m also struck by the fact that Bose wrote those words in 1944, at a time when the West was at war, and also… his words seem so fresh and contemporary. I have access to them, for example, through yoga and uplifting items available at a nice bookstore, for example. But he wrote them in 1944– nothing else about that year makes me think about ideas like this.

And, I love that word “pulsates.” Yes.

(I saw an installation of his at the Philadelphia Art Museum this past summer.)
